Need A Girls Dress Up Clothes Trunk? Feminine And Fun Options She’ll Love!

Girls Dress Up Storage Trunk Ideas - www.kidslovedressup.com

Are you on the hunt for the perfect girls dress up clothes trunk? Well, you’ve come to the right place! We’ll be looking dress up trunks that are cute, feminine, and fun… and all TOP PICKS by Kidslovedressup.com.

First, why is a girls dress up clothes trunk a good idea?

This Disney Princess Deluxe Wooden Toy Box would make a fantastic dress up clothes box for YOUR little Princess! Click to see details!

Trunks have LIDS. (At least, they should, in my opinion.) And a lidded box means the mess and clutter can be fully concealed inside. Know what I mean? Toss everything in… dresses, animal costumes, hats, shoes, wands, wings, aprons, jackets, capes… everything… and then close the lid. Suddenly the room is looking rather clean, no? 😉

Simple clean up. Your daughter can EASILY be able to help put away her dress up things at an early age if you have a designated dress up trunk. Pretty self-explanatory, but there’s something to be said for making “it’s time to clean up” an easy chore for her.  No hooks, no hangers, just “put it in the trunk”.

They look great! They can become a cute piece of furniture in your daughter’s room or in the play room! If you get a sturdy one, they can also be extra seating (or a launch pad for jumping off of, if your kids are like mine… sigh.)

A Boys Dress Up Trunk: Say Goodbye To That Mess On The Playroom Floor!

Boys Dress Up Trunk

Boys Dress Up TrunkIs your playroom getting over-run with boys dress up clothes, accessories, hats, and the like? Perhaps it’s time to invest in a boys dress up trunk.  Trunks are great for quick clean-ups, aren’t they? Just dump, toss, and stuff everything in, close the lid, and voila! Done. So easy that your little guy has no excuse to NOT be able to help dump everything in it, right?  😉

What kinds of dress up trunks are there out there that are “just” for boys though? This page is dedicated to showing you 3 different yet popular boys dress up trunk styles. I’ll talk a bit about each, and show you some different highly-reviewed ones in each category.

Big and Solid

Cedar Hope ChestThe most important feature for a good dress up trunk, I think, is that it is BIG.  Why? Because big chests simply can hold a LOT of stuff. Dress up gear tends to accumulate as your kids age. They add dress up hats for kids, swords, belts, capes, superhero costumes, boots, animal costumes, role-play gear… and very quickly a small box is filled to overflowing, and your play room is never quite completely clean.
